MAKE Vol. 8, the Toys and Games issue, will be on newsstands any day now. I have three feature pieces in this one: a piece on making the papercraft toys from Chris Ware’s amazing ACME Novelty Library, a piece on sci-fi tabletop wargame terrain, and a piece on building “Pummers,” a kind of stationary plant-like BEAM lifeform.
The latter article is available for free as a MAKE sample PDF. You can download it here. The Pummers pictured in the piece were done by Zach Debord, the same builder whom I covered in Street Tech’s Twin-Engine Solarroller piece.
